I believe most of the extras are present as well, those that are worth giving a damn about anyway. The commentary by Frank Darabont and the 2 documentaries are here. There are separate interviews with the cast also and stills, if that's your bag. The only thing that doesn't appear to be on the UKBD is the storyboards which I beleive have been listed for the USBD, and the 'Shark Tank Redemption spoof unless it's an easter egg that I've yet to find.

Personally I can do without those extras and despite being a little wary over buying an 'itv DVD/BD' I am quite pleased with the end product. The video looks, as it should which is miles better than the previous DVD's but I'm certainly no expert in this area.

I would recommend it for those who can't wait until December for the USBD.

Thanks for clearing things up Chris. I might get both XFiles BDs in December, as I read in europe we might not get the same features being released in the U.S. Will wait to see if they are both region free.

As I've said many times, that list is far from exhaustive. As I've also said many times, Warner, Paramount and Universal don't currently code their BDs. It seems even Fox might be relaxing, as the last few check discs I've had have been all region. Maybe that will translate to retail, maybe not. We'll see I guess.

And yeah, all Warner titles are Region Free, including New Line titles that being release by Warner now (SATC for example). New Line used to be Region-Locked. I'm not to fuss about the Region since my player is Reg A and most of my discs are US anyway, but it's good to check since there are some some interesting Reg B title, like the German 'Traffic' has been hailed as a great disc, and Reg Free of course.

Just wanted to say that i bought that Sweeney Todd BD (if you remember) and you're right, it worked perfectly well on my region A coded machine. The funny thing is even the people at Warner (sweden) said it was region B coded, they don't even know themselves.
